The charm is missing, the conflict is bland, and the sluggish story feels like a chore to get through. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Thomas M @TMProofreader 02/01/2019 The best movie song ever sung: You'll Never Know! See more 06/16/2015 Colorful but empty Fox musical was Alice Faye's final starring role in a musical for the studio; the song "You'll Never Know" won the Oscar. See more 08/31/2009 Delightful musical with a great cast. Alive Faye is terrific as always, and John Payne as handsome as ever. Great score, colorful production with good costumes, cinematography and art direction. See more 08/31/2009 Delightful musical with a great cast. Alive Faye is terrific as always, and John Payne as handsome as ever. Great score, colorful production with good costumes, cinematography and art direction. See more 03/20/2009 Charming, colorful musical. Alice sings beautifully and looks like a million. John Payne is appealing even if his character is a cad. Jack Oakie offers good support and June Havoc is a bundle of energy, probably her best role, offering a glimpse of what Baby/Dainty June was really like in Gypsy. All that and the costumes are knockouts! See more Read all reviews
